    摘要: The present invention provides a photomask which improves the imaging performance that the photomask has and forming a good micro image on a wafer in photolithography with a half pitch of 60 nm or less. Provided is a photomask used for photolithography using an ArF excimer laser as an exposing source for immersion exposure by quadrupole-polarized illumination with a high-NA lens, which is characterized in that the photomask comprises a mask pattern of a light shielding film or semi-transparent film on a transparent substrate, and further characterized in that, given that a thickness of the light shielding film or semi-transparent film is "t" nm, a refractive index is "n", an extinction factor is "k", and a bias of a space part of the mask pattern is "d" nm, when "t", "d", "n" and "k" are adjusted and the photomask is used for the photolithography, optical image contrast takes a value exceeding 0.580.

    摘要: The present invention provides a halftone mask comprising an assist pattern and a manufacturing method of the halftone mask, which uses an ArF excimer laser as an exposing source, is used for a projection exposure by an off axis illumination, does not resolve the assist pattern while keeping the focal depth magnification effect as the assist pattern, and may form a transferred image having high contrast of a main pattern. A photomask is a photomask comprising the main pattern which is transferred to a transfer-target surface by the projection exposure and the assist pattern which is formed nearby the main pattern and not transferred, characterized in that the main pattern and the assist pattern are each constituted from a semi-transparent film made of the same material, a retardation of 180° is generated between the light transmitting through the main pattern and the light transmitting through a transparent region of a transparent substrate, and a predetermined retardation within the scope of 70° to 115° is generated between the light transmitting through the assist pattern and the light transmitting through the transparent region of the transparent substrate.
